Hello, brand new to the forum. Had a couple of city dump funds last week. One was a 1962 Hahn eclipse push mower that hadn’t ran in 30+ years, and the other one a Briggs engine that I can’t find anything on. Any info would be amazing.
Model: 14
Type: 202010
Serial Number: 82750
Thanks!

Boy that one is an oldie.

Model 14 Operator, Maintenance, and IPL

Note: most of the parts are long gone but still might a few NOS out there.

I leave the file up a couple days on the my online drive.

Thanks for the manual, it’s very helpful. How old do you think this thing is, I need to replace the coil and do some ignition stuff, but I may use it as a generator motor. Thanks!

Take care on working on it. I vaguely remember reverse threads on a flywheel on a real old briggs.

Yeah it is a 5 digit number, the cover has a little bit of info that I can read, it’s tough to make everything out though. Thanks, I was thinking early 50s motor.

I’m getting to working on it, it looks like a bad ignition coil. Is their anyway to convert one like this. I’ve converted others, but this is a coil I’ve never seen before. It’s a model 14 ignition coil, number 290880. Let me know, thanks!

You should be able to fit any one of the points eliminators .
The trick is some of the older models ran a different polarity spark
The eliminators are polarity sensitive so you have to flip the magneto over .
When Atom was still making them they made a unit for reversed sparks .
The magneto spark is AC just the same as as an alternator pulse
IT can go 0 to neg 10,000V to 0 to + 10,000 to 0
or
0 to + 10,000 to 0 to - 10,000 to 0
On your engine the difference is one way the spark jumps from the center electrode to the outer strap
The other way the spark jumps from the strap to the center electrode
A double ended coil does just this, one plug get a + spark & the other gets a - spark
